2.23 Elvira's Ghost

Teddy had arrived
back in town to do what Blair or Estevan could not do and that was to get rid
of Elvira once and for all. She had asked him not to be at the house when she
was doing her job. Blair tried to argue with Teddy but backed down when he saw
he was fighting a losing battle. He was concerned about her going in the house
because of what she saw but she assured Blair she would be so focused on the
job she would be fine.

When she got
there her body started to tremble at the thought of being here but the thought
of Elvira being in their lives concerned her more. Teddy opened the door took a
deep breath and called for Elvira.

Elvira tried
her usual games but Teddy was ready for her. "Oh look its the blonde
bitch."

"Shut
up and leave Blair alone."

"Fighting his battles now are we. You do know you can't touch me as I'm a ghost." mocking Teddy.

Teddy
launched herself at Elvira and all she heard was Elvira letting out a scream,
"How is this possible the living can't touch ghosts."

Still fighting Elvira; Teddy replied, "I'm a ghost hunter so you are leaving."

Elvira tried
to fight back but lost the fight and replied, "You can't make me. Do you
hear me, you can't." disappearing before Teddy could catch her.

Teddy left
the house and told Blair that his house was on lock down until the job was
complete. She had to explain to Blair that it could be a long drawn out
process. She would travel back tomorrow and start again.

"Teddy
this is stupid you travelling back and forth. Stay at my new house."

"Blair
we have talked about this. I can't and my new house isn't ready yet so for now
I will have to travel."

"Now
you are the one being stubborn."

The
following day Teddy arrived at the house and found the gravestone of Elvira and
started to talk to the headstone. Teddy knew all too well that ghosts couldn't
take their full form in daylight so she would take a different approach. Teddy
was going to appease Elvira instead and after talking calmly to her, Teddy
started to walk away making sure Elvira thought she had won.

Elvira couldn't resist and had to follow Teddy as she followed her Teddy turned around and pulled her machine on Elvira and started the process of drawing in her ghost. Elvira tried to avoid the rays and got away a few times but Teddy was relentless in her pursuit of getting rid of Elvira.

After a
while Teddy caught her and started to pull her in and at the same time Elvira
tried pulling away but the rays had become too strong and Elvira couldn't fight
it anymore. Once Elvira was safely in a container, Teddy picked up the
tombstone and got rid of it. Blair's ghost was finally gone. Teddy realised
that there was nothing standing in her way and it was her that was now pulling
away from Blair. Teddy was free to be who she wanted and Elvira was the last
obstacle in her way.

Teddy phoned
Blair to tell him Elvira was finally gone. "Thanks for what you did
gorgeous. Now you have finished, come over and see the new house."

Blair smiled
and the thoughts going through his head of what he and Teddy could do in there
but he stopped his train of thoughts and replied, "Red is your favourite
colour?"

"Yes
but how did you...Blair you didn't do..." but Blair interrupted her and
said, "So what if I did. I told you this house is too big for one person.
Ever played pool?"

"What?
You change the subject now we are talking about a pool. You decorated the
bedroom in my favourite colour and act like it's no big deal." being confused
at what Blair was doing.

"Fine
you want to talk let's talk. You and I have feelings for each other, yet you
refuse to move in with me."

"We
have just started seeing each and had one date. You think one date and I'd move
in. What's wrong with taking things slow?"

"How
slow do you want to go?"

"I came
here to see my boyfriend's new house but if you are going to be an ass I'm
going home." Teddy went towards the door but Blair got there first.

"Don't
leave!"

"Why so
we can argue again?"

"You
are right I did the bedroom with you in mind. I read your mind and took
advantage of that. After everything that has happened all I know is I hate
being apart from you."

"Don't
try and control me Blair. I lived through that once and I won't go back. I do
love the room but you should have done it your way."

"Stay a
bit longer and let's have some fun." She looked at him with forgiving eyes
and replied, "I'll stay for a while longer."

They watched
TV for awhile not saying much to each other, Blair hated the silence and reading
her thoughts he knew she was upset, "Gorgeous, I didn't mean to upset you
earlier."

"It's ok;
it was nice that you thought of me. I'm just not ready..." before she
could say anymore Blair kissed her then whispered in her ear I'm sorry and I
know you are not ready to move in but I am ready."

Teddy put her head on
his lap and they continued to watch the TV. Teddy's phone went buzz in her
pocket and when she looked it was a message saying the new house was ready to
move into and she could collect the keys.

"What
was the message?"

"I can
move in to my house today. Will you help me move?" Blair looked at her and
agreed to help. He was pleased she was moving back but he would
rather she was moving in with him. He knew if he pushed things then he would
lose her. He was used to getting his own way and having to give up some control
was pushing Blair to his limit but to have a real relationship he was willing
to give this a go.

D'awww Blair is such a sweetheart in this chapter. Ok, maybe Teddy didn't see that, but I did. ROFL. Moving in after one date does seem a little silly, but I do understand Blair being impatient because he really doesn't understand relationships yet. The end of the chapter was great because Blair agreed to help her move rather than pushing the "move in with him" issue. I see him learning and I admire that. =)
